Glenfaba

Glenfaba (/ɡlɛnˈfeɪbə/ glen-FAY-bə; Manx: Glion Faba) is one of the six sheadings of the Isle of Man.

It is located on the west of the island (part of the traditional North Side division) and consists of the two historic parishes of German and Patrick.

[1][2] Other settlements in the sheading include St John's in the parish of German (home of the Tynwald Day ceremony), and Dalby, Foxdale, Glen Maye and Niarbyl (all in the parish of Patrick).

The first mention of Glenfaba may be in a bull of Pope Gregory IX in 1231.

[3] Until 2016, Glenfaba was also a House of Keys constituency, electing one MHK.
